A superb set for the home or professional chef, this one offers 12 knives and other tools in a washable black polyester storage/carry roll with a strap. Included are a 3-1/4-inch paring knife; 6-inch wide stiff boning knife; 7-1/2-inch chef's knife; 10-inch chef's knife; 12-inch slicer; 8-inch spatula; 10-inch pot fork; 10-inch French whip; 14-inch steel; peeler; melon baller; and corkscrew. The knife blades are made-finished in Switzerland of high-carbon stainless steel with tapered, ground edges, and the handles are made of rosewood in traditional, three-rivet styling.

R.H. Forschner by Victorinox has long been a favorite cutlery company in commercial kitchens where sharpness and durability are crucial. Lightweight yet balanced to reduce tiring over extended use, the knives retain their sharp edges and are readily resharpened when necessary. Forschner recommends washing the knives by hand even though they're dishwasher-safe, and covers the set with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
